Creole Turkey Meatloaf Recipes

SIMPLE TURKEY MEATLOAF

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees with rack positioned in center of oven.
• Place turkey in a large bowl. Add onion, bell pepper, breadcrumbs, celery, egg, 1 tablespoon ketchup, garlic, Essence, salt, and pepper. Gently mix until ingredients are well combined. Transfer turkey mixture to a 1-pound loaf pan; form into a domed loaf shape.
• Place remaining ketchup in a small bowl; stir in hot sauce. Spoon ketchup mixture evenly over meatloaf, spreading with the back of a spoon.
• Bake until meatloaf is browned on top, cooked through, and an instant-read thermometer inserted in the center registers 165 degrees, 45 to 50 minutes.
• Remove pan from oven and let meatloaf stand 5 minutes before serving.

CAJUN STYLE MEATLOAF

Steps:

• In a small bowl, combine the bay leaves, salt, cayenne pepper, ground black pepper, ground white pepper, cumin, and nutmeg; set aside.
• Melt the butter or margarine in a saucepan over medium heat. Add the onion, bell pepper, green onions, garlic, hot pepper sauce, Worcestershire sauce, and reserved seasoning mix. Saute until mixture starts sticking to the bottom of the pan, about 6 minutes. Stir in the milk and ketchup; continue cooking for 2 more minutes, stirring occasionally.
• Remove vegetable mixture from heat, and allow to cool to room temperature. Place the beef and sausage in an ungreased 9x13 inch baking dish. Add the eggs, the vegetable mixture, and the bread crumbs. Remove the bay leaves. Mix well by hand, and form into a loaf about 1 1/2 inches high.
• Bake uncovered at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) for 25 minutes. Then raise heat to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C) and bake for another 35 minutes. Let stand for 5 minutes before serving.

CREOLE TURKEY MEATLOAF

Steps:

• 1. Mix all ingredients and pour into a loaf pan. Bake @ 350 for 40-50 minutes or until cooked through. Since it's turkey you don't have to worry about it getting too greasy and running over in the oven
• 2. For cheese sauce: In a medium pot mix soup and cream. Over medium heat stir constantly to assure it doesn't scorch. Once it's heated through add cheese, again stirring constantly until completely melted. Add pepper to taste and serve over sliced meatloaf.
